Crab sticks salad with cabbage - 21 cooking recipes

Crab sticks, given their low cost, can be called one of the most affordable components of any salad. It is no coincidence that so many recipes with them have spread. You can easily find something to suit every taste, from light and simple to hearty and more complex (both in composition and in preparation).

Cabbage and chopsticks go great. Moreover, it almost doesn’t matter which one. White cabbage (preferably young and crispy), Chinese, Brussels sprouts, and even seaweed are also suitable. All varieties of slaw are also quite good in this salad.

Methods for cutting each ingredient may differ from recipe to recipe. Some people like thin straws, others like even cubes. All this looks equally nice on a plate, both shared and portioned. In principle, this salad is good even with basic ingredients. You just need to season it with sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt.

But if you want a more vibrant taste sensation, then here is a list from which you can choose several items to add to your salad:

canned corn and green peas, pickled mushrooms, raw carrots, fresh cucumbers, radishes, green onions, boiled or fried eggs, sweet bell peppers, boiled sausage.

Fresh herbs of many types are good to add, especially dill and parsley.

When choosing crab sticks in a store, pay attention to the composition and price. It’s better not to go too low - in most cases, large stores provide discounts on low-quality goods that have expired or are about to go bad.
